A direct quote from my 82 year old mother in regard to the NYC shootings.........

the NYPD may be responsible for some that were wounded. We'll know after they recover the bullets from the wounded.

.... one can't blame him for lax or non-existent gun laws.

Blame him for bad schools, high taxes, high rents , high crime, stop and frisk, governmental dishonesty, police statism, political corruption of all varieties: guilty as charged.

But NOT for putting guns in the hands of crazy people.

for all politicians.

So there's something useful he did.

Does your mother have the internet?

Maybe she should google "NYC gun laws".

read my response above. Her use of you, was all encompassing, not specifically @ NYC laws.

FYI, she is the widow of a 15 year Marine Corps Veteran, who was with Dad through 11 of those 15 and Dad was a Chosin Reservoir combatant and veteran. (that has nothing to do with the post, just wanted to bond).

Semper FI

the Frozen Chosin. Tough times.

I don't think my Dad was ever warm. I remember in the winter he was always rubbing his hands, clenching them and blowing into them to keep warm.

Of course... one has to ENFORCE the law....

re: the soda sizes.

Now I think it's a stupid idea. But of all the things to spend millions fighting and getting worked up about...

Firearms are made for one purpose, to hunt animals especially the two legged kind.

Absolutely!
